David Beckhamformer Manchester United and Real Madrid footballer, was named Knight of the Order of the British Empire for the king Carlos III of England at Windsor Palace this Tuesday “for his services to football and British society.”
The appointment will allow him to add the name “Sir” to his name: “I couldn’t be more proud. People know how patriotic I am, I love my country. I always talked about how important the monarchy is for my family. I am lucky to have traveled the world and people just want to talk to me about our monarchy. It makes me very proud,” continued the current owner of Inter Miami in the MLS.
In this way, the former midfielder joins an illustrious list of figures with a past in football to be knighted, such as Sir Bobby Charlton, Sir Alex Ferguson, Sir Kenny Dalglish, Sir Matt Busby, Sir Stanley Matthews, Sir Bobby Robson and his former England teammate, Sir Gareth Southgate.
